Trip Costs 2015

The cost of the trip is $4,250 to be paid to Spirit Guided Journeys by check, cash, or using Paypal, as follows:

June 15, 2015 – A deposit of $1,500 is due and is non-refundable upon payment

August 15, 2015 a fee of $50 for tips to our drivers and tour guides and workshop presenters.

August 15, 2015 – Remaining $2,700 is due and non-refundable

If, by August 15, we don’t have 8 participants, I will be in touch with those scheduled to go. I will rework the cost of the trip divided among the remaining participants to determine if those still signed up want to go. If the trip is too costly and we decide not to go I will cancel the trip by no later than September 1, 2015 and refund any money paid to me less costs incurred within 10 days of cancelling the trip.
